There will never be a worse decision for me than one of the lbws Alex Stewart was given out too many years ago, maybe in Sri Lanka. Pitched so far outside leg stump lol
That could be a huge factor. Can't see his confidence being shaken as he seems a stubborn and driven individual but hopefully he'll be out of nick and we can get him early twice

What an incredible afternoon, I got back just after Wokes was dismissed, (awful shot in the circumstances), and I thought it was over - when Broad was out I was about to move, but thought I’d watch Stokes smack a few, what I then witnessed was unbelievable, and I’ve watched the reply twice to make sure it really happened.

What do we do for Old Trafford now then? I'd still make changes to the batting line-up personally. I'd like to see them go with:
Burns
Sibley
Root *
Denly
Stokes
Pope
Bairstow +
Archer
Broad
Anderson
Leach
but imagine Buttler will get the series, and wouldn't surprise me if Roy does as well. Wouldn't be totally against keeping the same line-up, but 1 excellent effort from Stokes, Root, Denly and Bairstow only papers over the massive cracks in this batting line-up. We'd have been stuffed without Stokes this summer.

couldn't resist having a peak at Aussie SM, they amount of post cry about cheating and booing, not to mention Indians who really don't appear to understande Cricket, Its rules, DRS and standing Neutral Umps
one good one from a guy saying sure, if the England Captain had been caught cheating and Banned and the ashes was over there wouldn't be getting the same treatment.. comedy gold

Roy, Buttler and Baistow all have to go. But victory will mean that they will all be retained despite not being up to it.

Did Leach bowl at all either innings 3rd test?
With Anderson back does Leach get dropped?
Having watched bits of the 3 tests I don't recall ever seeing Leach bowl.

Didn't play in the first two Tests and didn't bowl in Australian 1st innings (not surprising in the context of that innings).
In their 2nd innings he bowled 11 overs and took 1 for 46.
If Anderson does come back as expected I would imagine it will be in place of Woakes.
The latter, like Buttler, seems to me to be suffering from a post World Cup hangover.
